I’m very tired. you probably heard that Russia destroyed the Kakhovka Dam to slow Ukraine’s counter offensive. here’s something I didn’t quite realize: since this February, the Russians operated the dam in juuuuust the right way so that as much water would build up as possible when the snow melted and spring showers started. and then they blew the whole thing up.
40,000 people may need to be evacuated. I don’t really have the energy to say anything else right now.
Hospitallers Medical Battalion: actual angels can confirm. they’re combat-zone medical services - you know how humanitarian groups like MFS and Red Cross have to pause operations due to the Russians fucking shooting at humanitarian zones? yeah, these guys don’t pause for bullets, they fucking walk into them and they bring out anyone they can.
Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation: you can choose from a number of various fundraiser projects here, if you’re feeling particularly picky. for those of you who balk at the idea of supporting anything military just please remember that things like vehicles and drones aren’t just for military use, they’re also for evacuation and finding the wounded and they’re fucking vital.
KSE Foundation: similar to the above, KSE has multiple projects you can choose from to donate to. looking at it right now, one of the projects with the lowest amounts of money raised thus far - despite being started in April - is Seeds for Ukraine, which will help Ukraine recover from the ecological devastation Russia has been wreaking (and with Ukraine, the countries that rely on Ukraine’s grain exports that Russia keeps trying to steal).
Come Back Alive: do these guys even need the introduction? they’re Come Back Alive. I’m kissing all of them.
United24: Zelenskyy’s brain child, and the official fundraising platform of Ukraine. Mark Hamill recommends the fundraisers for drones in particular.
UAnimals: Nova Kakhovka’s zoo got... pretty much completely swept away. all zoo residents except the birds have drowned. UAnimals has tried throughout the occupation to keep the animals safe, and they’ve been reporting on the status of the zoo. I don’t really know what to say except that I hope they’re able to save the pets and strays in the towns along the river.
You can find NGOs specific to evacuation efforts in this post; please signal boost it as well. I’ve listed them but am leaving the links for the op post.

Okay so, after I reblogged that other post I realized that I also didn’t actually even know how to “call for a ceasefire,” OR what it means to say/do that, so I looked around and found this amazing piece of information. It tells about what all the Humanitarian things MEAN!!

If you're looking for a way to help, consider donating to some of the charities listed in the article. Generally the Red Cross and MSF are good standbys, but there are others that are more specific listed here.

Just a warning here
I know a lot of people want to donate to Pakistan now but please be careful! The leaders there are corrupt and donations sent to them will not go to the people!
If and when I find safe links I will post them but please, don’t jump on anything concerning government of Pakistan.
#fyi#Pakistan flooding#humanitarian efforts#seriously they are trying to jail Khan right now as a terrorist#and all the guy wanted was justice for the people#okay I need to shut up#but please check donation sources to be sure they aren’t going to the government there

Challenge #04114-K096: Earned Gratitude
H - I have.... WAY too much Time.
G - "You've worked hard you've earned that pay."
H - I didn't do that much.
G - "You signed the agreement including how much we were going to pay you."
H - Are you certain about this?
G - "Of course, your work has been absolutely invaluable to us."
H - It still... feels like I'm cheating... ripping you off.
G - "I assure you, you're not." -- The New Guy
I honestly don't know what to do with it. I'm just an orbital collections agent. I fly my netship through the shipping lanes and cash in anything I catch for a little extra on top of earning my living. It's not much, but it's necessary. And it's not as if I had the skills to do much else.
I used to work all day just to live to work the next. And then I did something that got me fired and threatened with prison. I answered a distress call and towed an Alliance ship to an abandoned military facility.
I just about destroyed my netship engine doing it. Inertia's always been my copilot, but these folks were running on fumes and stale air. Every orbital collector I knew also knew we could recharge our air for free because the army never reclaimed their algae farms. Milking fresh air from them is casual crime that everyone ignores. Going on there to cake a few algae cakes is written off as an over-sensitive alarm system. Letting extra-nationals on there to just wander around and see where the gutting happened? That's a step too far.

We are not just watching.
To be honest, I was surprised a bit at the fact there were so many things we could do.

“If you think the fight against intolerance doesn’t concern you, think again! Ending racism is good for everyone. It’s more than time to stop discrimination based on the color of your skin or origin. Don’t let your biases take the best of you. Learn, speak up, and act!” - Tenoch Huerta

hey, this is... a heads up: if you are currently in the US or are a US citizen, please be Extremely careful if you're donating to help Palestinians in Gaza. because Gaza is currently governed by Hamas, a group designated as a terrorist organization, you can get into serious legal trouble if you are not very, very careful regarding who you send money to. at best, you can get banned from Paypal/Venmo/whatever you're using, and at worst you're looking at a federal prison sentence of up to life in prison.
please donate only to NGOs licensed by the US Treasury Department. DO NOT DONATE TO INDIVIDUAL CROWD FUNDRAISERS.
I know it's shitty and that donating to individual fundraisers usually results in more immediate help for that person, but the feds are dead fucking serious about these kinds of sanctions and you do not want to fuck around with them and find out. OFAC actually published a guide here, and it's surprisingly helpful compared to most government documents.
and please check out BuildPalestine for more specific info, including licensed NGOs.
tldr: being generous is good. going to prison for life because you unknowingly ran afoul of US sanctions is very bad.
#gaza#palestine#i/p#i/p war#palestinians#donations#humanitarian efforts#humanitarian relief#and for the love of god do NOT send them crypto. the FBI does NOT like that AT ALL#I cannot emphasize enough that if you are American you will not be an exception to any of this

thinking about steph & jay parallels.
you've heard it all but i'm thinking about robin jay (half) jokingly saying that his calling is to be a medic. i'm thinking about robin steph's righteous anger blended with the need for being seen, about her drive for vengeance.
i'm thinking about steph's "rebirth" as a volunteer in the medical field aiding in humanitarian relief efforts. i'm thinking about post-res jay's international murder spree as an assassin in training, about his righteous anger blended with the need for being seen, about his drive for vengeance.
#i think it's the medic part that is the most heartbreaking to me#also i'm pretty sure that jay literally died in a center of humanitarian relief efforts since this was sheila's job#much to be said about the colonialist and orientalist image of africa in both cases btw.#stephanie brown#steph.zip#steph.txt#jay.txt#jay.zip#jay & steph#<- another tag i need a quote for! i think about them too much#they went in opposite directions *and* further into them#jay never got to be an actual medic. steph never went on a murder spree#i could go on for hours btw.#steph becoming a vigilante to stop her father who was her enemy.#jay becoming a vigilante influenced by his (new) father (bruce) who was his biggest ally#steph's complicated grief following her pos father's death vs jay's earnest grief after willis' got killed#core texts

AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS
Enforce Leahy! No funding to IDF troops who’ve committed human rights abuses!
354 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!
I’ve just learned from Pro Publica that “a special State Department panel recommended months ago that Secretary of State Blinken disqualify multiple Israeli military and police units from receiving U.S. aid after reviewing allegations that they committed serious human rights abuses.” But Blinken has failed to act on the proposal. This in the face of growing international criticism of the Israeli military’s conduct in Gaza.
I’m livid about this. We cannot keep sending unconditional military aid to anyone, regardless of whom, if they are committing human rights abuses. We have Leahy laws to prevent it, and they are not being enforced here. It’s unacceptable.
The U.S. government needs to stop giving the Israeli government a blank check. Israel has a right to defend itself, of course, but the abuses described in Pro Publica’s report can’t be defined as self defense under anyone’s definition of the term. They’re abhorrent and our tax dollars mustn’t be spent on them. Thanks.

If you're like me and have felt powerless to help in the last several weeks, please consider supporting World Central Kitchen. These brave folks are on the ground supplying food and clean water to those caught in the middle of all this horrible violence.
Here's a quick link to their Middle East relief donation page.

not to mention like. honestly i was blogging about the submarine because it was funny to meme on it and i wasnt blogging about the other boat capsizing because it was a tragedy.
#like i think presuming that not seeing it on social media means no one cares#isnt true. social media is more likely to pick up steam about stuff that can be memeified#the humanitarian efforts are obviously pretty disgusting when you look at it 1-to-1#or the flattering news puff pieces about the stupid fuckin billionaires#obviously thats a systemic issue#but i think. the blogging stuff. is cuz people put funny stuff on their blogs more
